I was trying to update to 13.10 when I first got the error, causing the update to fail. What should I do?

asb3; Hi !

If it is your desire to upgrade on-line rather than do a clean install there is a means to do so as instructed in this tutorial:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades.

There always exist the possibility of errors and faults. it is the recommendation to backup your personal files before version upgrading .

I was trying to update to 13.10 when I first got the error, causing the update to fail. What should I do?

how did you update?
what is your current ubuntu version? 13.10 or an earlier version?

[asb3]

asb3; Hi !

If it is your desire to upgrade on-line rather than do a clean install there is a means to do so as instructed in this tutorial:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades.

There always exist the possibility of errors and faults. it is the recommendation to backup your personal files before version upgrading .

the good news is that there is a way

The last upgrade covered in the tutorial is 8.01 to 9.04.

Assuming the same procedure should work for 13.04 to 13.10, ran
sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude safe-upgrade

which failed because aptitude was not installed.

I installed aptitude using the package manager.

The program ran for a while, and then threw the error:
dictionary-common
subprocess installed post-installation script
returned error exit status 25

Hoping the error was benign, I repeated

sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude safe-upgrade

Lots of stuff was installed, but there were some errors:

Err http://extras.ubuntu.com raring/main Sources

E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
E: Couldn't rebuild package cache

Current status: 4 new [+4].

With these errors, is there any chance that running
sudo do-release-upgrade

to upgrade to 13.10 will work? I'm reluctant to try it, for fear of clobbering 13.04 without
succesfully installing 13.10.

What failed in my updates?

[Bashing-om]

asb3l Hello,


It is a hassle, but can be done. The doc is old, but still vialbe and relates to your situation - the means remains the same.
Page 2 of the tutorial has the directions to change your source list file to "old releases".
With that guide you will version upgrade to release 13.10. Now release 13.10 is End-Of-Life next month. At that time the 1st point release of 14.04 will be released/available and then version upgrade to release 14.04.1;
Else if in a hurry to get to 14.04, there is a way to do so. 14.04 is still in "development" but is considered to be stable.

Hope this helps


the longest journey begins with




but small step

[asb3]

I followed the tutorial. The upgrade failed:

I added the lines to /etc/apt/sources.list
I ran
sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude safe-upgrade

which threw some errors:
Err http://extras.ubuntu.com raring/main Sources

I then tried to upgrade:

Now what?

[Bashing-om]

asb3; Humm ...

Let's look at your sources, see what conclusions we can draw.
Post back the outputs - between code tags - of terminal commands:


cat -n /etc/apt/sources.list
ls -la /etc/apt/sources.list.d
tail -v -n +1 /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*

code tag tutorial:

Once we are stable on 13.10 will see what is the next to do.

58 deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ raring-security main restricted universe multiverse
I see no need of, and appear to be duplicates of the "raring" install. I suggest that you comment out those entries.

And this from the 3rd party directory "/etc/apt/sources.list.d" :


/etc/apt/sources.list.d/unity-2d-team-unity-2d-daily-quantal.list.distUpgrade

no longer has support, per:
http://ppa.launchpad.net/unity-2d-team/unity-2d-daily/ubuntu/dists/
It should be removed.

Once these are done, try again and see what results from:


sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade ##does not do version upgrade, just installed packages upgrades that apt-get install does not handle##


Now let's see what the condition the condition is in.

[asb3]

I ran
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

and they seemed to succeed. I then rebooted the computer, and I'm still running 13.04:

I commented out the lines and tried again. No error messages, but the upgrade still failed.

I finally upgraded by system. The problem was in the file
/etc/update-manager/release-upgrades.

I changed the line
Prompt=lts

to

Prompt=normal

and the upgrade succeeded. I was then able to upgrade to 14.04, so I'm up to date.

Thanks to all who helped.

I'd like to change the status of the tread to "Solved", but I don't know how.

[Bashing-om]

asb3; Outstanding !

Glad you figured it out, sure had me stumped what was the problem. I will file that one for future reference .

To mark as solved.
